Homemade Pickles

Homemade Pickles

Stephen and I picked a ton of cucumbers from our garden last week and I finally got around to canning them. I've never canned anything before so it was pretty entertaining. I managed to burn four fingers on one hand with boiling water, there was dill and garlic everywhere in our kitchen, and I managed to make the biggest mess. But it was all worth it when I heard the sweet sound of the lids starting to pop. 







For information about canning I used the following websites to help me...

    1. Oh man! I didn't plant any rhubarb this year. I wanted to seriously plant everything and I had to cut it back. I've been very curious about rhubarb though.

  2. I'm impressed. This looks like quite the feat. I hope the burns weren't too bad. Can't wait for you to try them!!
